Perhaps
the best gift you can give your toddler is an unfinished wooden toy
chest that you make yourself. For instance, you might consider crafting
a wooden toy chest and bench or a toy chest with book shelves that is
personalized for your child. Of course, the first order of business
is to learn how to build a toy chest.
You'll be happy to know that there are a myriad of woodworking projects
involving toy chests. You can locate a wooden toy chest plan on the
Internet, in books, or at your local home improvement store.
An unfinished wood toy chest can be built quite inexpensively with only
minimal carpentry skills and a few tools. For instance, you'll need
a drill with assorted drill bits, a chisel, saw, hammer, screwdriver,
screws, sandpaper, and paint.
In order to keep costs low, try to find free plans
for a toy chest. The toy chest pattern can be simple or complex, depending
on your personal comfort level. A free toy chest plan is not necessarily
an inferior plan—in other words, the ultimate quality of the toy
box does not depend on whether you pay for the plan or not. A wood working
plan for a toy chest need only be dependable and reliable and provide
you with a high-quality final product.
There
are numerous advantages to having a well-crafted toy chest around. For
instance, it can help keep your child's room tidy, since it provides plenty
of storage space for your little one's most prized possessions. If the
toy chest is particularly attractive, chances are greater that your little
boy or girl will actually use it.
There are a number of advantages to building a toy
chest yourself. For instance, you're in charge of the design, so you can
fashion one that will be particularly beloved by your child. Also, you
control the craftsmanship, so you can ensure that the toy box is safe.
Also, a homemade toy chest can be a family heirloom which will keep your
family company for generations.
